Sean Lee Mr. Shatalin Management I January 9, 2013 Leadership Profile: Tupac Amaru Shakur Many people have viewed Hip Hop artist Tupac Amaru Shakur as a controversial Rapper and very Hypocritical. Personally I view him as a leader who was misunderstood by society. He was a revolutionary whose vision was cut down early when he was killed on September 7, 1996 due to gunshot wounds. He made America see what was going on in some of the poverty stricken areas of the nation. He inspired many people, regardless of race or gender, and was a spark of enthusiasm in the 90’s.
Tupac Shakur Final Draft Tupac Shakur was one of the greatest rappers of all time. As good as he was a rapper, he was a well known poet even though many people considered him a thug. He wrote many poems that expressed how he was feeling and talked about other people’s lives. The poem “The Rose That Grew From Concrete’’ is one of my favorite poems from him. It inspired me to never give up on my dreams and no matter how hard it gets and no matter how many struggles you have to go through, at the end it’s all worth it.
But if the screen had remained blank, the memory of that murder would have suffused "Jungle Fever" just as palpably, for it explores the nexus of race, sex and place that in one instance cost a 16-year-old innocent his life and in a broader historical scheme has tormented America for centuries. After touching these issues to both serious and comic effect in his earlier work, Mr. Lee with this latest film has driven to their
History of American rap; 1990's Rapper MC Hammer became a huge success after his multi-platinum album, "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em" turned into the #1 record. The first single, "U Can't Touch This" was on the top 10 of the billboard Hot 100. MC Hammer became one of the most popular and successful rappers of the early 90's. His album, having sold over 18 million copies, made rap music rise to a whole new level of popularity. Another rapper, Dr. Dre, released his album, "The Chronic," in 1992 and helped establish West Coast gangsta rap as more commercially viable than East Coast hip hop.
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is probably one of the most influential rappers alive, and more than likely one of the most well-known across America. Dwayne, aka Lil Wayne, is the one guy I would sponsor to be my “National Living Treasure” out of any other American, no doubt. Lil Wayne landed in the rap scene when he was at the young age of eleven years old. Ever since the day he was signed by Cash Money Records in nineteen ninety-three, he has exploded and become one of the most successful artists Hip-hop/Rap has come across. With nine studio albums and twenty-five mixtapes, all eyes are on Lil Wayne to see what is bound to come next.
His famous conspiracy of death “to be or no to be”, was a questionable outsource for a lot of people. Hamlet faced relative problems, as he followed his beliefs which took him to the murder of his uncle who had a sexual affair with Hamlet’s mother and who is a widow after her husband’s death. Therefore, all of this occurred only but for recognition, his words and quotes were spoken for no reason with no imagery and without any sense. He spoke for the rights of innocent people and gave his life for his freedom of speech. Was imprisoned for 27 years, till he got out and took over the leadership of his country.
The movie shows us 4-5 stories about several persons slowly getting woven together creating incredible, funny and bizarre incidents which you never would have expected. The 2 hitmen (Jackson and Travolta) are out to retrieve a stolen suitcase from their boss, Marsellus Wallace, when a series of unexpected events happen. In the meantime the aging boxer Butch Coolidge (Willis) gets paid by Wallace to lose his next fight, but unfortunately kills his opponent in the ring by knockout. On another side in town 2 thieves decide to hold up a restaurant. And Wallace wants Vincent Vega (Travolta) to accompany his girlfriend Mia to the local restaurant when something goes terribly wrong.
That’s what they talk about on a daily basis. It’s what they love. Some rappers have rapped out of a thesaurus. When I think of all the values and beliefs that the Nerdcore community possesses, the first and most obvious thing that comes to mind is that that value nerdiness. They are proud to be nerds and they are not afraid to show the world that nerds can rap too.
Killed my folk a year ago, still in Robinson 2 my sleep they threaten me. Paranoia stressing me, ain't nobody protecting me. I'm dealing with the pressure from my partner dying next to me. Think 'cause no one's arrested, they coming for me eventually. This was all the things I was going through mentally.” I think he’s telling some secrets behind the music industry and the things that some artists go through every day.
Khaled has the spiritual sensibility to speak over his life that his name is “Victory” and “all he does is win.” I wish I could say that Khaled has enjoyed success because he is more talented than his peers, but most Hip-Hop critics and historians agree that he is NOT overwhelmingly gifted, but instead he simply would not take no for an answer. These same Hip-Hop critics and historians say that Khaled has out performed his more talented peers because he has out worked them. So if a Muslim DJ with little or no skill can blow up the charts and become one of Hip-Hop’s biggest winners… Please tell me why all us: HIGHMINDED, HOLY-GHOST filled, HALLELUJUAH HOLLERING
